Boasters League round
8~~
Barring a miracle, the top six teams are poised to advance
to the finals. “Butter Nutz” have
all but secured top billing despite the fact that they sit out the final round
next week. It is highly unlikely that either “Foss Nation” or “Winky-Dinks”
will make up the almost 40 point difference by the deadline of March 6. What
those two teams should be doing instead is concentrating on ending up second on
the ladder which would give them a first round bye for the play-offs. The next
7 days will be rather important for them.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, once again the last
three teams have fallen even further behind. Now the gap between the last
play-off spot (6th) and 7th is 22 points. Two weeks ago
it was just 1. “The Kampai Warriors”
have picked up only 25 points during that time. Compare that to “Butter Nutz’s” 65 and it’s easy to see
where the problem lies. Another telling statistic is that for round 8 (so far),
“Butter Nutz” scored more overall
points than the last three teams combined and the “Winky-Dinks” picked up more bonus
points than those teams together as well. Not good.
There weren’t too many matches completed last night – so I
don’t have many to choose from for major highlights. That being said, standouts
for the evening: Julia Dillon (“The Kampai Warriors”) scored her second
win of the season taking out “Winky-Dinks”
Paul Gormley 2-1; Mike LoVasco (“Paddy’s Dropshots”) somehow managed to reach up high enough to
nullify Jerry Rock’s (“Butter Nutz”) lobs to take a 2-1
victory; Cathy Lysack (“Butter Nutz”) was just a little too
steady in the end for Patrick Petz (“Paddy’s Dropshots”) for her 2-1 win;
and John Parnell (“Mongoose”) picked up his 3rd
win of the half with a tough 2-1 win over Jim
Miller (“Wardogs”).
